The MEC Newt Suit is an outdoor classic that provides full coverage and has taped seams for excellent protection in wet conditions. It's great for a baby's first encounters with the fascinating world of rain and puddles, and will keep them dry and comfortable wherever you take them to explore.

Made from a robust nylon mini-ripstop with a polyurethane coating.

DWR finish for maximum waterproofing.

Seams are fully taped, so rain can't work in through the seams.

Full coverage without gaps or places to become untucked.

Hood has a brim and elasticized sides to keep water off from a child's head and face.

2 water-resistant Uretek coated front zips open to the waist, making it relatively easy to get on and off.

The standard test for waterproof fabrics uses a standing column filled with water. The figures given are the water column height. A rating of 3,500mm or higher can be considered waterproof. The higher the rating, the more durable the waterproof fabric will be over time.

Waterproof garments use waterproof-breathable technologies and are fully seam-taped. Water-resistant garments use waterproof-breathable technologies but their seams are not taped. Water-resistant garments repel water and protect against wind but are not made of waterproof fabric.

A windproof garment does not allow any air to permeate the fabric. A garment with windproof panels has panels of fabric that are totally windproof, but the rest of the garment may not be windproof. A wind-resistant garment resists some wind, but not as much as a garment that is windproof.
